Fugitive caught in Bath

A man wanted for the alleged rape of a 15-year-old in Binghamton was arrested Wednesday in Bath.

New York State Police said Christopher C. Eastburn, 38, had been the subject of a manhunt for two weeks. He was wanted on a warrant for first-degree rape.

State police said Eastburn has no permanent address but is a Binghamton-area resident.

On Wednesday, authorities received information that Eastburn was hiding out in the Bath area. The state police's Violent Felony Warrant Squad, a U.S. Marshals Task Force and Bath-based state police began an intensive search of the Bath area.

Eastburn was apprehended in an apartment at 133 E. Morris St., where police say he had been hiding for approximately a week.

He was arraigned in Binghamton City Court and sent to the Broome County Jail without bail.
